In the Blink of an Eye

In the blink of an eye

Welcome to English in a Minute

we blink our eyes…

like this!

In the blink of an eye

I have no idea what Anna and Jonathan are about to do.

Really?

Oh man,that sounds fun.

Jonathan,can you help me out?

Sure,Anna.

I’m almost done here.

What time does it start?

‌Jonathan,I need help now!

This stuff is really heavy.

Sure,Anna.

I’ll be there in the blink of an eye.

Eight?

Eight sounds great!

I don’t think you know what that means!

Humans blink up to 2‪0‪ times a minute.

And each blink happens quickly.

So when we say something happens

‌’‘in the blink of an eye,”

we mean it happens fast,

which is the opposite of what Jonathan did.

He took his sweet time.

And that’s English in a Minute.
